The holiday season is one of the best times of year in Newport County. We may be known for our summers, but locals know that December is pure magic.
While events and activities continue to pop up, as Thanksgiving draws near, seasonal fun is already beginning. We will continue to add to this post as more are announced.
Also, look out for our Ways to Give Back post which will go out at 7am tomorrow morning!
Enjoy the season!
Warmly,
Erin
